Suicide blast as u. S. Military special Operations Forces cornered him and moved in toward the tunnel where he was. President trump spoke about this at the white house, lets get right to Jennifer Griffin with the latest right now. It was a mission more dangerous than bin laden raid, the president said the flight in and out of syria was the most dangerous part. The flight took over an hour, up to 70 u. S. Special Operations Forces launched in kurdish held northern iraq, they took fire approaching the target, the president described Abu Bakr Albaghdadi last moments. He died after running into a deadend tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way, he reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest killing himself and the 3 children. The president says u. S. Forces were on the ground in the compound for over 2 hours and collected, quote, highly Sensitive Information on future isis operations, a large number of isis fighters were killed, some were captured alive, two of baghdadi wore suicide vests. They did positive id within 15 minutes. His body was it was him. Facial recognition was used, they brought back dna, more than they liked according to the president when they left syria, baghdadi was killed in northwest province, he went there to try to reestablish isis according to President Trump, no u. S. Operators were killed or raid, two americans lightly wounded but are back on the job, u. S. Bomb sniffing dog was injured after hunting baghdadi. Maria Team Coverage continues this afternoon now with rich edison, hes in washington, rich. Good morning, maria, President Trump offered international praise for this raid pointing to russia and turkey allowing American Forces to fly over territory that those countries controlled. No, they did not know why. Was we did tell them we think you will be very happy because, you know, again, they hate us as much as they do, you know what isis has done to russia. No we did they did not know the mission, they knew we were going an area that they had a light of fire power. The president says Kurdish Forces gave the United States information that turned out to be help nfl the operation, same force that is the recent withdrawal from Northern Syria of u. S. Troops also with turkish troops attacking in that same area attacking those kurdish allies in the area of Northern Syria. While the raid was a pentagon effort, the state department has built and grown a coalition of more than 80 countries to defeat isis, coordination to recapture isisheld territory and resettle refugees and work rebuild areas once held by the Terror Organization. As isis lost control of cities in the middle east, officials are concerned of attacks beyond the region where isis will try to project power inspiring other attacks, state Department Officials warned that isis brand lives around the world, a couple of months ago, President Trump acknowledged secretary of state mike pompeos work in leadup to the raid. Secretary is expected back in washington today, maria. All right, rich, rich edison joining us, for more on this republican congressman michael, sits on Arms Services committee, hes a green beret. You can run but you cant hide forever, we will find you. And we will hunt you down and we will hold you accountable. I was very pleased to hear him specifically mention the hostage families who were executed under baghda distributions rein and the fact that hes calling those families and jordanian pilot, i think thats important, new National Security adviser Robert Obrian was formally the envoy for hostage affairs, he has an eye to understand that this was justice for them and the thousands of others executed brutally. Maria very good point, youre right, he was almost saying in honor of those families who lost loved ones under albaghdadis rule. Do we know if they had been planning another attack, what kind of treasure trolls had been left behind where our special forces would get hands on. Isis and the caliphate is growing and so, you know, i think senator graham, aye said this many times myself, absolutely right, we have to stay forward, we have to keep a presence, we have to have assets in the region to keep our foot on the next, these groups to allow them, to prevent them from reconstituting and growing again, operationally i dont know that this will have a huge impact but Public Relations and symbolic standpoint and their ability to recruit and ability to inspire attacks in the United States this is huge. And i really give the president a lot of credit for making a bold call, this was not easy to pull off, russians and syrians have defense capabilities in the region and they also have control of the air space with their fighters, their aircraft overhead, im pleased that the russians stood aside as we sent helicopters to take the man in. All right, thankman, appreciate your time, thank you, sir, for more on this senator steve dane, republican from montana, thank you very much for being here. Good to be with you. Maria first give us your reaction, this plan apparently began in arbial in iraq, connect the dots for us and give us your reaction with albadhdadi dead . Maria, this is a great morning for america, a great day for the world, im pleased for President Trumps leadership, he deserves so much credit with relentless pursuit, hes the commander in chief, to ensure that we are safe in the homeland, he did that so well by greenlighting that mission 2 weeks ago, im proud of u. S. Military, that was a highrisk mission they took last night, 70 special ops, small Little Village 3 miles south of turkey, very highrisk mission, only fitting that the last sounds albadhdadi would have thursday u. S. Special forces helicopters, boot prints, boot sounds of chasing albadhdadi and probably the last thing he heard was the u. S. Force, k9, one of the great dog that is cornered the terrible, terrible evil leader before he detonated suicide vest. Maria too bad the dog was injured as well, special Operations Forces even down to k9s, let me ask you about the plan to take troops out of syria, the president has begun to reverse himself and keep about 200 keeps in syria to to protect the Syrian Oil Fields so that iran and isis does not get their hands on that revenue from the oil field, characterize that and assess the situation now that we know just 2 weeks ago the president was being criticized for his plan and now we learn that the plan to take down the leader of isis was in place and in fact, successful . Well, listen, the president understands clearly his role here is to protect the homeland, to ensure that we we have a Counterterrorism Mission in place around the world to keep the homeland safe. Remember, it was in 2013 that albaghdadi founded isis, he declared himself in caliphate in mosul, iraq, i was on the ground north of mosul and at the time forces were focused on finding a way to take out albaghdadi, hes high target and the president understands it, he knows he has to take oil assets to make sure revenues dont go in hands of isis, thats the source of revenue to keep Funding Missions around the world. And so what we saw this morning, the results to have special Operation Mission exactly how President Trump leads, hes mission focused, he set a goal and delivered it for us last night working with u. S. Military, i could not be more proud of this president and our military this morning. Maria one of my sources earlier said to me whats equally as important here is the name of this campaign and who it was who it was in honor of and the president was very clear moments ago when he spoke at the white house and he named the americans killed by isis and talked about their families finally getting justice, we want to honor those families, of course, and also just send love and support, james foleys family, as you could see the names on the screen, Kayla Muellers family as well peter kasichs family. We have the fixtures there because the president made a point of naming the families after they lost the loved ones at the hands of isis. Well, i was with the king of jordan, king abdullah. The horrible image that is the world saw, so i was grateful the president listed the names for the sake of the families, for the sake of the world the hear the names that were brutally murdered by isis, but it was not just americans, it was people from around the world including jordanian f15 pilot and only fitting justice that the president really recognized those who were killed by isis during the reign of albaghdadi. Maria we have been talking about the situation throughout the program this morning, this is obviously huge news for the country and for the world, i have not yet heard or seen any comment from nancy pelosi, from anybody of the democrats at all on the heels of this campaign to take down the leader of isis albaghdadi is dead and many agree the world is safer because of that. You know, its a sad day in america when the democrats cant stand up and and thank the president , thank the u. S. Military for taking out the leader of isis last night. Thats a tragedy, here is the problem, maria, the democrats have impeachment obsession. They are obsessed on one thing and thats to remove President Trump from office. I tell you what, its not going to happen, they are obsessed on impeaching President Trump, theyre obsessed on trying to impeach President Trump while we are trying to pass bills that will lower the cost Prescription Drugs, they are obsessed on impeaching President Trump or trying to get this mexicocanada trade deal passed that creates 170,000 jobs, 70 billion of growth in u. S. Economy and they are obsessed on impeachment. Its a sham, unfortunate and silence this morning and its very, very telling. Maria very unfortunate. Let me ask you about usmca, this week in Fox Business Network a lot of people joined me to tell me that they believe usmca will pass this year, she will bring it to the floor, are you expecting that . Well, i sure hope so, the president signed the usmca over a year ago, remember that mexico and canada are second and Third Largest trading partners, the amount of trade we have with mexico and canada is twice that we have even with china, this is a really, really big deal. The president got it done a year ago, it is well past due to get this done in congress, i hope theyre right but im afraid that nancy pelosi is putting impeachment of the president ahead of doing the right thing to the American People.

Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. Successful raids marks new low, we are talking about the successful raid right now with senator, senator, a moment ago you mentioned that you were surprised that we havent heard from any democrat in terms of congratulating our military for the successful move, they have been focused on impeachment, where does that go next impeachment inquiry, what happens when impeachment comes to the senate because we are expecting the house to move to vote to impeach President Trump . We will wait and see if it gets out of the house. Remember theres 31 House Democrats that represent district that is President Trump won in 2016, so it becomes a very political decision for many of them to move for on this when they are in trump districts in 2016, i think theres a telling resolution in the senate in the last 72 hours led by lindsey graham, a resolution condemning the process, House Democrats that nancy pelosi and adam schiff are using right now does not allow the president to crossexamine accusers, this is being managed through press releases and leaks, fullblown transparent process and lastly, the house hasnt even voted to move forward on this, thats a precedent thats been set for a century under nixon, clinton, there was a house vote, nancy pelosi is bypassing that and that really makes the process illegitimate, if it comes to the senate, bottom line is this, 50 u. S. Senators signed the resolution condemning the process that nancy pelosi is using, thats pretty telling because it would take 20 republican u. S. Senators to join to impeach the president , long ways from that. The United States senate will stand behind President Trump. Maria especially since many of the testimonies, all of the testimonies, by the way, are being done behind closed doors, the American People really dont know what is being said on the testimonies aside from a couple of sound bites and things that were released like the Opening Statement from friday. What we are seeing in this great moment in American History and President Trump and u. S. Military executed a Brilliant Mission to take out the leader of isis and its crickets from the democrats. That tells you a lot, they care more about destroying the president than taking care of the military and love of the country and making sure the homeland is safe and secure, i think the silence is speaking volumes in morning. Maria in your own work in appropriations committee, how can you tell us that the allocation is going and budget as well . Well, we have a ways to go, the bottom line we are a month in current fiscal year of the federal government, remember, the federal fiscal year begins on october 1st, we are operating under continuing resolution, we need to get the appropriations on the floor of the u. S. Senate, on the floor of the u. S. House, pass them and get them in the hands of President Trump and he will sign them. Its very important that we continue to monitor whats going with allocation and so forth and the Defense Department, right now we dont even have the Defense Department funded, thats the tragedy right now with whats going on, the impasse in washington, d. C. And, again, impeachment obsession of the democrats which is holding up so much good work that needs to be done right now on behalf of the American People, i hear all over montana, they are telling me we are tired of impeachment obsession, its time to move forward with the work of the people. Maria and even with the Defense Department not being funded, we have our special Operations Team taking down the leader of the worst terrorist organization that any of us know of that has caused all of these fatalities across iraq and syria. Well, look at this, the u. S. Military last night executed a mission brilliantly, flawlessly. The u. S. Congress, the u. S. House and leadership with nancy pelosi is fumbling the ball, nancy pelosi and the democrats are making this place less safe by not standing behind the u. S. Military, getting appropriation bills passed and making sure the folks, men and
